about Mr.Y.S.Rajashakar Reddy
Chief Minister
Dr. Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy, popularly known as YSR, is an astute politician and a charismatic
mass leader who has carved for himself a niche in State politics by his exemplary devotion and dedication
to the uplift of the downtrodden and neglected segments of society. Born on July 8, 1949, in Pulivendula in
the backward Rayalaseema region, YSR has always struggled to secure the rights of the poor and the
underprivileged.
Son of late Sri Y.S.Raja Reddy, a dynamic leader in his heyday, Rajasekhara Reddy evinced interest in
politics right from his student days. While studying in M R Medical College, Gulbarga, Karnataka, he served
as President of the Students union. He was elected leader of the House Surgeon’s Association in S V Medical
College, Tirupati.
After completing MBBS, he served as Medical Officer at the Jammalamadugu Mission Hospital for a brief
period. In 1973, he established a 70-bed charitable hospital, named after his father late Y.S.Raja Reddy at
Pulivendula. His family established one polytechnic and one degree college in Pulivendula, which were later
handed over to the well-known Loyola group of institutions.
Rajasekhara Reddy’s sound business acumen, entrepreneurial skills, and, above all, his transparency brought
him laurels in the business arena. On the flip side, his success also brought him many adversaries,
political and otherwise, who were desperately looking for a shred of evidence to prove umpteen charges
against him. In the end, their mud-slinging did not yield a single point that could paint the mass leader
in bad light. In fact, his detractors became red-faced, as they had to swallow their words.
Groomed by a family deeply involved in public service, YSR entered active politics in 1978 and contested
elections, four times to enter the State Legislative Assembly and an equal number of times to enter the
Lower House of Parliament. A winner in all that he does, YSR won all the elections he contested. Even today
his admirers exclaim: “He (YSR) defeats defeat.”
During his 25-year-long political career, YSR has served the people in multiple capacities, both in
Government as well as in Party. He was President of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) twice –
1983-1985 and 1998-2000. During 1980-1983, he was a minister holding important portfolios related to Rural
Development, Medical & Health and Education etc. From 1999 to 2004 he was the Leader of Opposition in the
eleventh state assembly.
As a champion of the masses, his stentorian voice in the assembly, raised particularly during debates that
sought to lend voice to the voiceless millions, forced the Government to retrace several anti-people steps
it contemplated. YSR has been instrumental in orchestrating several mass struggles, while highlighting
issues facing peasants, weavers, Dalits, youth and women. His relentless fight for clearance of pending
irrigation projects, particularly in the backward Rayalaseema region, has earned for him a special place in
the hearts of millions of farmers. His unremitting struggle against certain anti-people economic measures
that were sought to be introduced in the name of “reforms”, including the frequent increases in power
tariff and indiscriminate privatization of public sector units, exalted him far above the street smart
politicians.
Even as a novice in the legislature, YSR rallied all the Congress MLAs from the Rayalaseema region and led
an indefinite hunger strike demanding solution to the water crisis. He also led a Paadayaatra from Lepakshi
to Pothireddipadu in Kurnool district. The 14-day hunger strike of legislators under his leadership in
August 2000 to register protest against the hike in power charges is still fresh in the memory of people.
By systematically exposing the misdeeds of the then Government, both inside and outside the Assembly, YSR
was playing his political role to the hilt.
During mid-summer in 2003, he led an unprecedented 1400 Km long Paadayaatra covering all backward areas in
the state to understand the ground realities of living conditions of the people there.
Now, as Chief Minister, the crowning glory of this studded political career, he can proudly claim to be the
quintessence of a politician who, with vision focused on the coming generations as well, has earned the
title of a statesman. Amidst a bewildering number of turncoats among politicians, who thrive in “shifting
loyalties”, YSR stands out as a sterling example of the old guard in pristine Indian politics.
This explains why he has never turned his back on the Congress party, which nurtured his political
moorings. The lure of power and pelf could not divert him, when the party was briefly out of power, from
his mission to hold the reins of power as a trusted lieutenant of the Congress and, more importantly, as a
darling of the masses. Sworn in as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on 14.05.2004.
YSR’s Personality
A modest Personality:
Dr.Reddy,unlike most politicians, reflects the spirit of a true Indian who walks his talk.While his thought
is dressed with all that is modern and ennobling, Dr.Reddy’s person is invariably clothed in traditional
costumes that include dhoti and a shirt made of handloom cloth.In all of his public and private
conversations, he speaks from the core of his heart. Naturally, he hates hypocrisy.
As a demanding Chief Minister, YSR expects bureaucrats to do their job meticulously, and present before him
only facts that are shorn of all publicity-oriented and manipulative figures. He does not tolerate hype and
extravaganza in communicating official messages. He wants incontrovertible facts stated in a simple
language that is intelligible even to the unlettered, because taking administration to the people is an
article of faith for him.
His Philosophy of Life:
Dr. Rajasekhara Reddy strongly believes that the human life is a boon provided by the Almighty to share
one’s blessings with others, while serving less privileged human beings.
“Don’t count the years you want to live. Ask yourself how much you have done for society at large with
whatever opportunities the Almighty has provided you”, is Dr. Reddy’s word of advice for those who have
excuses for not doing even what is within their means.
It is this humane principle that prompted him to take pioneering steps to ensure delivery of social
security pensions to the needy in the first week of every month.
His stature:
Though measuring 5′7?, Reddy looks majestically simple in his appearance with an ever-smiling genial
countenance. This in fact overshadows his unfailing willpower to achieve his targets with the resilience
and tenacity of a spider.
When YSR undertook his unprecedented 1500-KM-long Padayaatra (march on foot) in scorching sun during summer
in 2003,covering backward areas of the state in particular, few people could discern the underlying motive:
knowing first-hand the real problems of the people in their own language and their doorstep.
His Mission:
As around 75% of the population in India depend upon agriculture for livelihood, most administrative
efforts should be focused on the rural economy, he believes.
Citing renowned economists, Dr. Reddy regrets that neglect of the agriculture and irrigation sectors in
recent years have become the bane rural economy. As a proactive Chief Minister, he embarked upon a massive
programme of executing 26 major irrigation projects to create 65 lakh acres of new ayacut.
His Motto:
Dr. Reddy’s motto is that the ultimate objective of any program executed under a democratic set-up should
be prompt and dependable delivery of sevices to the common man.
With this as the guiding principle, YSR has advised bureaucrats at all levels to help revive the
functioning of the administrative system at all levels without habitually looking for autocratic ‘diktats’.
‘Decentralization of administrative power within the guidelines of the policy framed by the government
reflects the true spirit of democratic governance”, Dr. Reddy argues.
His strength:
Dr Reddy’s strength lies in his stature as a mass leader since his advent in politics. Whether in or out of
power, he has always championed the cause of the common man. This has endeared him to all segments of the
Congress party as well.
Even after becoming the Chief Minister in May 2004, Dr Reddy makes it a point to address all the problems
that are brought before him directly by people, cutting through bureaucratic hurdles, every day.
If any scheme or programme under formulation is placed before him for approval, its outcome is a foregone
conclusion that is dependent on Dr. Reddy’s invariable query: “How best will it benefit the people at large
or ensure good governance?”
His ‘pastime’:
A curious ‘pastime’ of Dr Reddy is to feel the pulse of people in rural areas on Sundays through the Rajiv
Palle Batta.
The Rajiv Palle Baata is a novel mass contact programme under which the Chief Minister reaches out to even
unmotorable areas in the rural areas for personally collecting feedback on the implementation of various
programmes. This programme has become extremely popular, because it highlights not what the Chief Minister
does in the glare of official publicity, but what his officials may not have done in the people’s own
words.
In view of the rational changes brought about in administrative matters following the success of Rajiv
Palle Baata, the Chief Minister now extended the programme to urban areas through Rajiv Nagara Baata.
His Approach:
The Chief Minister’s emphasis on development of the rural economy does not presuppose a blinkered approach
towards new and emerging technologies.
Dr.Reddy is committed to a balanced approach towards giving thrust to information technology,
bio-technology and all sectors that enhance industrial and agricultural production. His watchword is total
transparency in all transactions and deals that envisage public-private partnerships or involve private
investments. Because, YSR believes he is simply a custodian of people’s trust that is invaluable.
It is not a coincidence that he loves the company of children and often “gets lost” in their World that is
founded on trust of the highest order.

i want to strike that handsomely with a bat, I want to slatter the wickets with the a Yorker, but I was too young to think off. My passion towards the sport has been growing with time, but my financial status made my desire more costly. Until I came to my secondary school I was I only concentrated in reforming and grooming my financial status as well as my career in education, but again I was back to my ardent desire towards cricket, but this time I want only to promote cricket in India. For that I have chosen media as my means. I want to have my own website where I can express and share my views. This website was my childhood aspiration. But again I was financially handicapped in developing the site. Again I cant stand up to my desire to promote and inspire cricket in India my current situation, promotes me to raise funds with the help of others. I am hoping to raise funds in order to keep my aspirations alive and to back my interest to inspire the youth in this country where cricket is a religion.
